Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), released the daily devotional for October 14, 2024, titled “Cover Not Your Sins”. In this devotional, Pastor Adeboye emphasizes the importance of honesty and transparency before God.
The devotional is based on the scripture from Proverbs 28:13, which says, “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy”.
Pastor Adeboye stresses that covering up sins is a futile attempt to hide from God, who sees all things. He encourages believers to confess their sins and seek forgiveness, rather than trying to hide or justify their wrongdoings.
The devotional also includes a prayer point and a Bible reading from Joshua 7:1-26, highlighting the consequences of hiding sins and the benefits of confessing and forsaking them.
This message is particularly relevant for Christians who may be struggling with guilt or shame due to unconfessed sins, reminding them that true freedom and mercy come through honest confession and repentance.
